With probable or confirmed cases, we will work very closely with CCHD. They have letters drafted which we will utilize. You can view our dashboard to see how many students and staff members have confirmed positive cases of COVID-19.

We are relying on guidance from CCHD. Please keep your child home if they have one of the symptoms in Category A or two or more of the symptoms in category B.

These symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, abnormal sense of taste and smell, sore throat, muscle pain, headache, congestion, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If you or your child develops any of these symptoms, please stay home and contact your physician. 

We are not basing our reopening plans on the availability of a vaccine.

In response to school leaders' need for additional guidance as to the risk of COVID-19 transmission in their communities, the Departments of Health and Education are providing recommendations to Pre-K to 12 schools for use when making decisions related to the instructional models used during the 2020-21 school year. Please see:

All suspected and reported cases will be reported to the Chester County Health Department by the District. Those in close contact with a suspected or confirmed case (defined as within 6 feet for 15 cumulative minutes) will be contract traced by the Chester County Health Department. See the CCHD Guidance for Schools for more information.

Staff is required to self-monitor daily. A daily temperature check will be required daily at home before arrival to school. For complete details, please see the Chester County Health Department COVID-19 School Guidance (July 31).
